An homage to John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids

Rating: 7/10 (30 July 2003)

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, though that's no surprise as I have a penchent for post-apocalyptical flicks, though it bears an uncanny likeness to John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids book (you must read it!) and the BBC's early 1980's adaption thereof.
From the patient in hospital beginning, to the light from the tower to guide our heroes, to the barrackaded safe-house at the end it reeks of Wyndham. But until some visionary in the industry sees the potential in the Triffid story for a decent film version (the Hollywood 50's version bears almost no resemblance to the original story) this'll do.
It sures makes a change for the Zombies to be able to run like sprinters.
7/10
